WEBINAR 3 REPUBLIC OF KOREA RCE TONGYEONG This presentation dealt with the experience of RCE Tongyeong in overcoming COVID-19. In South Korea, the first confirmed case was reported on 20th January and reached a peak of 990 people on 29th February. While confirmed cases have since been decreasing, the situation is not safe yet; there are about 20 to 30 confirmed cases a day now. Fortunately, there is no case yet in Tongyeong. RCE Tongyeong, which runs Sejahtera Forest and Centre, activities have suffered a lot due to COVID-19. On 9th April the new school year began with online classes and since late May students have returned to school. All students are now back to schools from elementary to high school. Presented by: Ms Bomyung Sophie Seo THAILAND RCE CHA-AM The Sirindhorn International Environmental Park is a learning centre for the conservation of natural resources and environment. It represents RCE Cha-am in Thailand. During COVID-19 pandemic our centre strictly practiced social distancing and “new normal” while we are doing our ESD activities. This will be continued in the future. Our measures specify that no more than 50 people can participate in a training course or be in a seminar or meeting room. We also set up a temperature screening point. Visitors and participants of any activities must wear face masks or face shields at all time when attending activities. We also provide information and instruction in regard to social distancing and the “new normal” to raise awareness of the COVID-19 prevention in our centre. Presented by: Dr Areeporn Sittiyanpaiboon 25
